When the old woman delivered the award speech, Lin Feng's assistant keenly sensed that the name the old woman was about to say must be a movie actor who was neither English nor German, so he held back his ecstasy and poked Lin Feng quietly. , indicating that he should be mentally prepared to face the camera and go on stage.
Lin Feng was also overjoyed. Although he prepared the acceptance speech in advance, the possibility of using it was very low to be honest, just in case.
Among the foreign language films participating in the Berlin Film Festival this year, there are only three or four most influential foreign language films, including "War Dogs", and another Chinese criminal investigation film that was shortlisted for the main competition unit has an even more heroine role. Heavy.
Therefore, since it was a foreign language film that won the award, Lin Feng thought that the old woman was about to pronounce his name, so he involuntarily leaned forward slightly, intending to stand up and wave to the surroundings.
At the same time, Zhang Zian and Fei Masi felt very calm, because Feng Xuan missed the best director award, so only the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture was left to compete.
No one expected that this octogenarian woman, one of the founders of the Berlin Film Festival, would actually say the name of Phemas!
The audience was instantly quiet.
Most of the stars were stunned, and from the shape of their mouths, it could be seen that they were chanting "unbelievable", while the reporters' thighs were shaking with excitement, knowing that they were witnessing history.
The camera precisely focused on the faces of Zhang Zian and Fei Masi, faithfully recording their shocked expressions.
In his pocket, the phone suddenly beeped, but he didn't have time to look at it.

The hostess probably expected this situation, and said twice in a row: "Femas and the dog trainer are invited to come on stage, and the dog trainer will accept the award on his behalf."
The guests in the audience finally came to their senses, exclamation and applause mixed together, and more people frantically wrote similar tweets on various social media, it turned out that a dog won the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival!
Nie Yuan, Lin Feng and the rest of the crew all dropped their jaws in shock. They couldn't imagine whether they were dreaming or the Germans went crazy and awarded a heavyweight award to a dog
Feng Xuan pushed Zhang Zian and signaled him to come on stage quickly.
The disappointment in Feng Xuan's heart was diluted by surprise and relief. No matter what, it is always good to win an award.
Zhang Zian didn't know how he got onto the stage, his mind was completely confused, his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, he just followed Femas, and walked mechanically to the old woman's wheelchair.
The old woman smiled and opened her arms, hugged him, and whispered in his ear: "You have a good dog."
Her body was as thin as dead wood, and she should be very light. Zhang Zian didn't dare to use force when hugging her, for fear that if he exerted a little force, it would hurt her.
After embracing, the old woman bent down slightly, touched the top of Femus' head lightly, and said, "You performed well, these human actors should be ashamed of themselves."
Then, she winked mischievously at Zhang Zian, "Hurry up and give a speech, I hope you have prepared it."
Zhang Zian stood in front of the podium numbly, facing the countless eyes of the audience, Femas squatted beside him.
For five seconds, he didn't say anything.
The hostess frowned slightly, and was about to intervene to save the scene, but the old woman spoke ahead of time.
She smiled and said: "When I was very young, maybe at the same age as those children outside the movie palace, I once watched a movie starring another dog. You have seen every one of them, of course you know who I am talking about, and I I believe I was the only one who saw those movies in the cinema."
The guests in the audience smiled knowingly.
She continued: "I was amazed when I saw Femas because it looked exactly like another dog I remembered. But unfortunately, due to some reasons outside of the movie and people's prejudices, that dog was not released. I was able to be on the highest podium at that time, so I am very honored to present this award to Phymas It seems that nearly a hundred years have passed, and human society has finally made such a little progress."
The guests in the audience laughed even louder for her humor and wit.
"My kids may not remember, but I told them when they were very young, when the Berlinale was first established, that if such a miracle happened, I would bark like a dog and show them now. , It's time to fulfill our promise." She looked around the audience, gave a soft "woof", and then smiled.
There was a burst of laughter and applause from the audience.
She nodded to Zhang Zian, she bought enough buffer time for him, the next thing is to see his performance.
Of course, Zhang Zian did not prepare the acceptance speech. It was impossible for him to think that Fei Max would win the award. I can't believe that the jury of the Berlin Film Festival dared to push a dog to the podium, and the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee really agreed.
Possibly, only the Germans in the whole world would do this.
After the old woman finished speaking, the applause and laughter in the audience stopped, and Zhang Zian finally calmed down. He knew what he had to say, and it had to be decent enough for the organizing committee to think that awarding the award to Feimasi was not a problem. correct.
He held up the silver bear trophy, imitating the way of the old woman, and first used a witty remark to dilute the awkward atmosphere: "As you can see, I am surprised, because I never thought that I would come with a dog and lead back with a bear..."
There was another burst of laughter from the audience.
Zhang Zian restrained his smile and returned to seriousness.
"After I came to Germany, I deeply felt that Germany is a model for the world in terms of caring for animals. You have made a caring decision, truly treating animals as equal to us, providing welfare for animals, protecting animal rights."
He paused, raised his hand and pointed to a certain direction outside the movie palace.
"On the way to the Film Palace, I saw in Berlin that the Angel Angel does not only exist on the Victory Column in the city center, but also exists in the hearts of each of you."
The guests in the audience also suppressed their smiles and listened carefully.
He looked down at Phemas, meeting its gaze.
"Femas likes its name very much, because it is a loyal fan of Audrey Hepburn, and it also wants to be the guardian angel of angel children like Audrey Hepburn. I know that there are many children in the world I am starving, so I plan to donate all of Phimas’ salary to the United Nations World Food Program, so that more children can have enough to eat. I think, if Phemax can talk, it will agree to do so .”
Femas let him control his own pay, which was a well-considered decision, but he didn't expect to be able to stand on the podium and say it in public.
At this moment, he felt extremely honored for Fei Max.
In his pocket, another line of writing flashed on the phone screen.
[Game Tips]: Congratulations! The favorability of the avatar dog has been raised to trust, gaining the ability to move freely!
